These chunky babies are all about playtime followed by long, cozy naps. They’re sweet little snuggle bugs who love attention, give the best puppy kisses, and think laps were made just for them. When they’re not wrestling with their littermates or exploring the world, they’re happily curled up in a puppy pile catching some Z’s.

Each pup has their own budding personality, but they all share a love for affection, cuddles, and being close to their people. They’re learning all the important puppy things and are ready to grow up in homes full of love, patience, and fun.

If you’re ready for puppy antics, endless snuggles, and a lifelong best friend, one of these babies might be the perfect fit.
They are the perfect age to be introduced to dogs, cats, and kids and grow up with them as part of the family!

They are:
⭐️ Vaccinated with age appropriate vaccines and microchipped
🏡 Kennel & potty training in progress
🐶 Dog, cat and kid friendly
📍 located in Houston, TX (transport is available!) ***PLEASE NOTE: pickup locations may vary, including to a nearby town, county, or state.***

*We coordinate with multiple transport services that operate weekly to Eastern states and bi-weekly or monthly to Western states from Texas to your state or a neighboring state. These are ground transports using third party vehicles (vans/buses) converted for dog transport. Each adopter has the ability to track the van using the app Life360, and receives updates from transport along the way. Facebook chats are another resource to stay informed on tracking dogs on transport. Please be able to use one of these available services if you wish to follow your adopted dog on transport.

*Our adoption fees are based on the vetting we put into each dog. Fees for puppies (under 12 months) are higher because they require more vetting than dogs over 1 year.

*Listed breed is based on a best guess estimation by rescue and veterinary staff; DNA tests are not included in adoption.

*Our adopters are eligible to receive 50% off training with Curbed Behaviors Dog Training for programs booked within 30 days of adoption, and 25% off programs booked within 60-90 days of adoption.

*All of our adopters are invited to join our “Alum Pupdates” Facebook group, to share their story and their adorable pup with fellow Sunnyside Street Dogs adopters!

*We have a strong adoption process, backed by reviews from previous adopters. Check out our reviews on Google and Facebook.

The Akita is a powerful and dignified dog breed originating from Japan, known for its loyalty, intelligence, and independent nature. They have a distinctive curled tail, erect ears, and a dense double coat that comes in various colors. Akitas are renowned for their strong protective instincts, making them excellent guard dogs. However, they require firm training and socialization to manage their dominant tendencies. With the right guidance and care, Akitas can be loving, devoted companions for experienced dog owners.

The American Staffordshire Terrier, also known as the Amstaff, is a medium sized, muscular breed known for its loyalty and courage. Developed in the United States, they are intelligent and affectionate dogs, making them great family companions. With a distinctive short coat and strong build, American Staffordshire Terriers are often misunderstood due to their past as fighting dogs, but they are actually loving and playful pets when raised in a nurturing environment. They thrive on human interaction and are eager to please their owners.
